Work Experience VS. Financial Support
Dear All,Tue Jul 17, 2007 06:46 AM I was told that it is extremely difficult for somebody who has some work experience to be awarded financial support. Most scholarships/fellowships go to those having little or no experience. Is that true? I have 4 years experience as an associate in a big local firm of a developing country. Young associates are generally underpaid so the tuition and living expenses are notoriously high for me. Besides, anybody can share his/her tips for being awarded the Appel Scholarship of CLS or the half-tuition waiver by Duke? Another question: do I have to include a list of big transactions I participated in my application material? Will it add some points to my application? Thanks! cheers, dreamer |

I got a 50% scholarship from Minnesota although I have been working in a law firm for more than 6 years.Tue Jul 17, 2007 06:12 PM I am also from a developed country, and the expenses are extremely high for me. I recomend that you send with your application materials a letter of recomendation from the Dean of your Law School, that will give you a plus. In my case I got one, and I think it helped a LOT. |
